Judge John Waldo, member of the Oregon House, introduces a state
memorial petitioning Congress to establish a forest reserve or
preserve along the crest of the Cascade Range. It was to be 12
miles on either side of the divide and was to be managed by a
joint state and Federal commission. The memorial cited the low
commercial value of the forest but the value of its streams and
lakes. Eventually defeated by the grazing industry. (Williams,
1991)
